Certified instructor description: A fast-paced mix of three interval types: step cardio, floor-aerobics and muscle toning. Dynamic and explosive, you’ll challenge your entire body with lots of innovative exercises. The step segments are straight-forward — high-energy, easy-to-follow classics. The floor sections range from shuffles and lunges to plyometrics and “fast feet” agility drills. Some moves even include a balance/coordination element. Sharon Twombly’s toning is also creative — a blend of standing and floor routines that use both dumbbells and your step (e.g. lifting it overhead like a barbell). Vocal music. Has premixed workouts (e.g. just the cardio segments). Requires 2 to 10 lb. dumbbells. ©2007. DVD has: 3 premixes (33 to 54-min. alternate workouts), Chapter menus.

CIA 2704: Sharon Twombly's All Body Attack
One of the WORST in my 150+ library
Rarely do I throw out a video. This one I will! (ouch!) I've done it 4 times. In my rating to be objective. The BAD: 1) QUEUING terrible - extraordinarily poor. e.g. "now let's think about the right leg" - doesn't tell you what you the (new move) will be. 2) MUSIC bad - very annoying sort of sound that would be made at football games. 3) NO ANNOUNCEMENT of exercise - in weights section she starts doing an exercise without saying what it will be, so you do not know what weight to use. For beginners this is less a problem but for advanced exercisers who want to optimize their choice a weight it means constant stopping stopping and rewinding after the exercise has been revealed. 4) PRODUCTION quality is very mediocre. The GOOD: nice PERSONALITY. For perspective I am a Cathe fan but have such a broad range of videos across instructors and styles so have a good comparison. - posted by Exercise Lover on 11/13/2011

Great athletic workout!
I unfortunately don't do this workout enough being 80 minutes long. But, each time I do it, I tell myself I should do it more often. It is a great killer two-in-one workout and time flies. I also don't understand those who say it is not advanced, I think you need to be in absolute shape to do this. She is a great instructor. I have to admit the production and the music are not the greatest but, this is not the reason why I do a workout. I feel like dynamite after this workout! - posted by homefitfreak on 11/29/2010

I really enjoyed this tape. She explains the moves very well and it was just a great overall workout. - posted by linda on 10/21/2010

Love This Workout
This is one of my favorite workouts. I usually do Cathe, Amy, and Jari and I think I sweat more to this one. - posted by Wendy on 9/8/2010

Really good
I bought this video för the first time two years ago,and I really like it. I would call myself advanced and usually prefer Cathe but sometimes it is nice to change things up. It is really good intervals and strength. I don´t use my step, I use a bodybar for the moves with the step. - posted by Sara on 5/31/2010

A 3 year update
I realize I have had this for almost 3 years now and though it's gotten easier for me, this workout still is tough. Yes, it is advanced if you do the whole workout. Skipping parts obviously would not make it very advanced. The first 20 min has a little bit of a dread factor for me as the cardio isn't very fun, but after that it really kicks into gear and it gets tough. The segment with the lifting of the step bench is doable and, honestly, that's when the heart rate really kicks up. It's tough but effective and I like the originality of it. My inner thighs and butt really feel it in this and the core work is great. My only complaint is that it is a shoulder burner and I substituted more tris and bis for some of the shoulder work. I do like her All Body Cardio better as it it has a more fun factor to it. - posted by Cam on 3/29/2010

4 stars instead of 5 due to the step workout part
Really got the HR up and I sweated a lot but that thing with the step is just too funky! It is hard to hold onto and I just don't get the point! The rest of the workout is great, the cardio is pretty basic and really gets the HR going and even the weights workout kept it up there. I wish she would have told you what the next exercise was so you could judge how much weight to use, this would have made it easier to keep the flow of the DVD going. Her cuing is adequate due to the basic nature of the cardio. I like her enthusiasm and some of the cardio stuff was different from the drills you usually see. Overall I would recommend this DVD. - posted by Sassy on 3/15/2010

Great workout!
I am an advanced excerciser and find it hard to find workout that really "works me out". This is one of them. I feel like an athlete when I finish this. You have to train with a heart rate monitor to realize the cardio benefits of this workout while you tone your muscles at the same time. Great instructor, great workout and I own hundreds. It is serious and intense. I don't understand those who don't find it challenging. This is a true 2 in 1 workout. No waste of time in here and I find this workout gets better and better. Hope there were more workouts like that out there. Thanks to Sharon! Keep up! - posted by homefitfreak on 1/22/2010

Worth Doing OK
I'll have to try this video again. It's been a few months since I used it. I know that I was turned off when I had to use the step as a weight. It was difficult to grasp. Everything else was actually effective. I'm going to try it again, but I'll use weights instead of the step. I'll submit another review once I try this. At this time, it was just ok for me. - posted by Lucy on 1/21/2010

Advanced workout
I consider myself to be a highly advanced exerciser. I love Cathe, Amy and just bought the Insanity series. The most advanced stuff is fine with me. That said I still find this workout to be taxing enough so I'm drenched in sweat every time I do it. I guess this is b/c of the nonstop plyo moves on the step. I really wonder about the fitness level of those who didn't find this workout to be advanced... How can that be possible. - posted by Inga on 1/17/2010

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Premixes

These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Step aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The step aerobics segments involve stepping up and down on a platform. The moves range from simple stepping to more choreographed exercises. These segments require a step bench platform. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
